Alamad S, Beyond Profit: The Humanisation of Economics through the Theory of Equitable
Optimality (Springer 2024)
This book advocates for a transformative shift in economics, emphasising the need to manage finite
resources equitably while safeguarding universal well-being. It introduces the Equitable Optimality eco-
nomic theory, departing from materialistic views and championing a theory deeply rooted in moral
economy, values, and ethics. By integrating spirituality, social justice, and ethics into economic analysis,
this model contends that economics can serve the welfare of all, offering a unique lens for economic
theory and policy. It challenges prevailing materialistic economic paradigms by proposing an interest-
balanced/free financial economy. This economic theory prioritises profit-sharing, societal objectives,
and equitable resource allocation, aiming to create a more inclusive society. However, practical imple-
mentation and comprehensive research are crucial for understanding its impact and overcoming transi-
tional challenges. The Equitable Optimality economic theory provides a valuable perspective within
economics, focusing on ethical foundations, acknowledging non-monetary values, and humanising eco-
nomic agents. It does not aim to replace conventional economic theories but offers an alternative frame-
work to inspire innovative approaches to economic models and policymaking. Its broader policy
perspective aims to foster a more prosperous and harmonious society by integrating ethical considera-
tions, equity and justice into economic decision-making and emphasising societal welfare.

Burgorgue-Larsen L, The 3 Regional Human Rights Courts in Context: Justice That Cannot Be
Taken for Granted (Oxford University Press 2024)
At specific moments in the history of Africa, Europe, and Latin America, each region decided to
create supranational jurisdictions to protect human rights. These are, in chronological order, the
European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African
Court on Human and Peoples’Rights. While each has been the subject of important, dedicated
monographs, no major study has analysed both the institutional and jurisprudential issues of all
three regional systems.
The 3 Regional Human Rights Courts in Context: Justice That Cannot Be Taken for Granted is the
first book to offer a comprehensive comparison of the three systems. Rather than merely juxtapos-
ing analogous features, the book considers how the three courts operate as parts of a greater, inte-
grated whole. Similarities and differences between the courts are illuminated alongside historical,
political, and sociological insights, in addition to the book’s primary legal focus.
